This occurred to me from an article by Edwards in the edition of the 1st of April The Third. Edwards discussed about the change of cabinet and mentioned the dispute within the coalition between those who were in favor of the market and that, in reality, are against it. And then, speaking of these last, […]
The invisibility of the methodology
One of the questions of the last test of the course of consumption meant to compare two studies that, at first glance, had results that contradicted each other. Joel Stillerman (*) estimated that the homes of the working class he studied had a relationship very careful with the credit -limiting their use as much as […]
there’s nothing like Beethoven
Officially, I had thought to write of other things -about, finally, have a good structure for a course of consumption, to compare definitions, historical and sociological of ‘modernity’, and critique the theory of the collapse of Tainter, that it is interesting that the song last for 4 minutes and the TV programs last for 30-1 […]
A purpose of the innovation
I have to acknowledge that among the countless things that I have never finished to convince is everything related to the innovation. Why? Independent of other things, because its use in Chile, it seems to me that it is not more that the last version of a favorite sport, our elite: to show how the […]

And as you would be to leave this poor blog as a repository of all things, of greater or lesser […]
Creating
For some strange reason, in reality not so strange, of all Creation, a good part of the comments focus on the first few minutes -The Representation of Chaos. The oratorio lasts more than an hour, the central theme is the celebration -it is celebration – the creation of the world, but it is what happens […]
Only two ideas. Communication, learning, and limitations
a forgotten in the debate about education
The profit is a scourge. Now, what is the problem of profit? Not that those who are under their schools are exploited, but -in fact – that may not have access to the schools for profit have a bad education. Better, worse education. Because the center of the issue is not the quality of education, […]
Three myths lechnerianos

And as I read them I realized that there are underlying (and sometimes explicit) of a number of theoretical ideas that, in reality, are not too appropriate. Taking into account, furthermore, that the ideas that Lechner […]
